Offense
QB Matt Flynn, Sr., Gettysburg
Flynn set Gettysburg and Centennial Conference records with 519 passing yards, seven touchdown passes, and 522 yards of total offense in the Bullets 55-50 loss at Ursinus on Saturday. He completed 32 of 47 passes, setting a career-high for completions as well, while throwing only one interception. With his team trailing 55-23 with 5:31 left in the third quarter, Flynn orchestrated four touchdown drives in less than 11 minutes as the Bullets closed the game on a 27-0 run.
OL LT Ted Longabaugh, LG Andrew Wolter, C Tanner Martin, RG Will Taylor, RT Brad Eckelmann, Carleton
On a wet, muddy field, the Carleton offensive line helped the Knights rush for 129 yards and two touchdowns in a 17-13 win over rival St. Olaf. The raw total is low, but it was nearly triple the average St. Olaf had allowed coming into the game. Additionally, tackle Brad Eckelmann scored the game-winning touchdown on a designed 5-yard lateral in the fourth quarter. With the victory, Carleton maintained possession of the famed Goat Trophy.
RB Levell Coppage, So., UW-Whitewater
Coppage tied the school record for four touchdowns in a game, a feat he performed twice in the 2008 season. He carried 27 times for 168 yards in the 35-3 win against UW-Platteville.
RB Jared Chunn, Sr., Kean
For the fourth time in his career, and second straight time against The College of New Jersey, Chunn rushed for more than 200 yards, carrying the ball 22 times for 210 yards and two touchdowns in Kean's 28-7 win over previously unbeaten TCNJ. In the second quarter, Chunn somehow managed to stay on his feet, escaping a host of Lion tacklers and breaking free for a career long 62-yard touchdown run for the first score of the game. In the second half, Chunn added a 36-yard TD run to extend the Kean lead to 21-7.
WR Tim Queck, So., Hamline
Queck racked up 184 yards on seven catches and added 28 yards on kick returns for 212 all-purpose yards on the day. He also had an 80-yard touchdown reception that was the only play on the scoring drive. On the possession prior to Queck’s 80-yard TD catch, he was a key factor in allowing one of his teammates to finish his run on a 75-yard TD pass. On Alex House’s long run to the goal line after a catch, Queck’s key block at the 20-yard line stopped the final two Auggie defensive backs in pursuit. The 75-yard TD broke a 7-7 tie and put Hamline up 14-7, and the 80-yard TD gave Hamline a 21-7 halftime lead. Queck also had a 41-yard catch to start off Hamline’s final scoring drive that gave the Pipers the 10-point margin of victory.
WR Julian Ross, Jr., Beloit
Ross caught ten passes for 187 yards, including a 69-yard score that put Beloit up for good in the third quarter in a 29-22 win against Lake Forest. Seven of Ross’ receptions went for 12-plus yards and three of the ten catches converted third downs for the Bucs.
WR Earl Peoples, Jr., Randolph-Macon
Peoples caught an ODAC-record 20 passes for a school-record 295 yards as the Yellow Jackets held off Washington and Lee 21-13 in Ashland on Saturday afternoon. Peoples’ 20 catches ranks third all-time in NCAA Division III single game history.
